Winter issue article on Le Mindu for German mag Zoo, with SS/2010 show photography by Vernie Yeung. There’s a sneak-peek preview of the rest of the issue available online here. You can also find an interview with Charlie on Diane Pernet’s online magazine, A Shaded View.

We ‘kid’ you not, the latest Charlie Le Mindu collection was last week premiered on everyone’s favourite (children’s) TV show Blue Peter. The article covered London Fashion Week and was filmed at the Blow Spring/Summer 2010 show at the Royal Festival Hall. It featured one of their own lovely diy-tshirt fashion creations (below) which they presumably made earlier… Can we have our badge now pleaaaaase???

“French hair and wig-maker, Charlie le Mindu is responsible for some of the most groundbreaking looks sported by London’s style pack. Having exploded onto London’s fashion scene following his incredible debut at LFW AW/09, his client list now reads like a who’s who of London cool.

Unbeknown to most Londoners, this creative talent has been styling hair at his salon/flat in Shoreditch for a while now, as well as in club nights and pop-up shops across London, tending to the tresses of Carri Cassette Playa, Peaches (he’s her official stylist) and many more. From bespoke wigs to avant garde hairpiece/fashion outfit hybrids, Le Mindu is taking London by storm. His LFW AW/09 and SS/10 collections were received to great acclaim, and demand for his creative hairstyling has now soared among the world’s most sought-after fashion designers, magazines and musicians.

The wig collection features towering hair structures that are best described as works of art. Giant lip wigs, Eiffel tower headpieces, wigs that extend into dresses, coats and skirts, there’s no limit to Le Mindu’s creativity. As audacious as the work he produces, Le Mindu famously told an animal rights activist from PETA that he would turn her vagina into earrings, after she called him to complain about his use of rat pelts in the collection. And looking at his innovative designs, you can believe said earrings would become next season’s most desirable fashion item.

Take a look at this collection which will propel Le Mindu to the dizzying heights of success that he deserves, and then visit his salon to get a new cut/colour/bespoke wig while you still can. You’ll also find Le Mindu at Tatty Devine’s Brick Lane shop every Friday afternoon (2p.m. to 6p.m.) where from just £30 women and £20 men, you can get him to give you a new hair cut and style.”
